The code identifies measures that should be applied in advance of binding regulation pursuant to the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act by all firms developing or managing the operation of a generative AI system with general-purpose capabilities, as well as additional measures that should be taken by firms developing or managing the operations of these systems that are made widely available for use, and which are therefore subject to a wider range of potentially harmful or inappropriate use.

Initiative overview

The initiative has the following objectives:In undertaking this voluntary commitment, developers and managers of advanced generative systems commit to working to achieve the following outcomes: 1. Accountability “ Firms understand their role with regard to the systems they develop or manage, put in place appropriate risk management systems, and share information with other firms as needed to avoid gaps.2. Safety “ Systems are subject to risk assessments, and mitigations needed to ensure safe operation are put in place prior to deployment.3. Fairness and Equity “ Potential impacts with regard to fairness and equity are assessed and addressed at different phases of development and deployment of the systems.4. Transparency “ Sufficient information is published to allow consumers to make informed decisions and for experts to evaluate whether risks have been adequately addressed.5. Human Oversight and Monitoring “ System use is monitored after deployment, and updates are implemented as needed to address any risks that materialize.6. Validity and Robustness “ Systems operate as intended, are secure against cyber attacks, and their behaviour in response to the range of tasks or situations to which they are likely to be exposed is understood.
